If they said the 20th then I would ring them and ask. They are usually very helpful.

When I helped an elderly neighbour apply, her Pension Credit payment (backdated for several months) appeared in her account BEFORE she'd been notified that she was entitled to it!

Mine was paid exactly on the day they said. As Francis Asis says I would ring them. I found them very helpful.
